My review: Yaamirukka Bayamey
Debutant Deekay's "Yaamirukka Bayamey" has struck that successful formula which resurrected Raghavendra Lawrence's career with his "Muni" series. The horror-comedy which genuinely scares at the same time has loads of humor to intertwine is a difficult mix to get it right. Deekay has got it right and keeps the audience in good humor at the same time on their toes with an engrossing screenplay and neat writing. Movie is not a masterpiece by any means nor it is bereft of any loopholes, but still there is something that is endearingly honest about this movie, which makes it tick with the audience.
Deekay makes no pretensions. He is ruthlessly honest in presenting a full blown commercial cinema with it's share of double entendres, foul language, run-of-the-mill comical situations, contrived scenarios, almost juvenile flashback but still manages to entertain the audience. At no point in time one would feel bored or allowed to drift. And the humor in the most scariest of places leave you wanting for more.
It is a good break for Kreshna who excels in with his comical talent. Be it dialogues or slapstick, he is equally good in making the audience laugh. But the real show stealer is Karunakaran. With his unique body language and facial expression coupled with his timing dialogue delivery he is a riot. Rupa Manjari and Oviya do their parts well, though not much is expected of them. The veterans like Mayilsamy and "Mahanadhi" Shankar lend comical support to the proceedings.
Songs are irritants with none sounding good, but Prasad S.N makes up for it with his good supportive background score which enhances the thrills at many instances. Rammy's cinematography makes the movie technically rich with classy and glossy frames.
On the whole, "Yaamirukka Bayamey" is a thoroughly entertaining horror-comedy on the lines of the "Muni" series.
Bottomline: Not flawless yet honestly endearing, ruthlessly funny.
3.5/5
